I have an American keyboard on my laptop (with an 'English' hard drive) I have searched high and low for the 'hash' key but its no where to be found. It has the hash above the 3 key but it comes out as '£' when pressed with the shift key. It must be there somewhere but I can find it.

Any ideas where I should be looking

Large amounts of thanks :thumbup:

I know that you have found '#" but you can also access the 'Character Map". In Windows XP it can be found by clicking on the following: -

Start, Programs, Accessories,System Tools, Character Map. Just pick the font, select and copy, then just paste into your document. If you copy the icon to your desktop it saves all that clicking.

I frequently use it for

£ ¾ © ¼ and others that are not on the keyboard.
